Standing before the vast
Walls of Jericho
Surrounded by brick
Caged and caught
Tiptoeing for a peek towards
The Other Side of Life
Failing to look forward
Nor backward .. stuck
Running the picture before
My eyes wet and glistening
Over the journey traveled
Questioning for regrets
One last look behind
Asking myself whether different
Choices would make up, given
The chance to take it all back
Realizing it was Him guiding
Me along in life's choices
Bringing me to these Jericho
Days seemingly uncrossable
Heavy burden rests upon
While bracing my shoulders
Stretching my fingers
Clutching to that first chink
Persistently placing my feet
Toes scrabbling .. searching for
Foothold suddenly overtaken
by vehemence and strength
Slowly step by step
Ledges found .. gripping the
Stony lips reaching the brink
Touching once again sunlight
And onward my voyage goes.....
